    Falmouth Public Library - Love the cute signs all around this library

    Falmouth Public Library

    History and…read moreconvenience The very first idea for a library in the town of Falmouth was back in 1792. At first the books were stored where ever there was room and eventually ended up in the town hall. The library finally got a permanent home in 1901. As the town grew the need for a larger library also become obvious. So in 1966 an addition was completed. And again in 1978 another addition was added. And finally in 2008 major renovations took place and now the library is a whole lot larger than the original one but still has the charm of the very first building. The library is beautiful, both inside and out and the additions and renovations blend in extremely well with the original concept so it can be difficult to see exactly where the addtions were added. The seal of the town of Falmouth is even embedded on a dome in the ceiling. The library has lots of very comfy place to sit or study as well as a great local history room, kids department and community room. A lovely and very useful library that has grown along with the town.

    We went to this library a lot when our kids were little. They loved it and we loved it. We had not…read morebeen back for a while but wanted to see how it had fared in recent years. It's a small town library that's really crowded during summer tourist season and never used to be crowded at all in the off season when we were often in town. It was jam packed on a cool drizzly summer day. It still has a large lower level children's section. And it is still the place to be with wonderful creative updates. The book areas are nicely delineated by age groups and book styles and there are lots of inspiring posters even on office and closet doors. A creative playhouse is at one end. A local garden having a butterfly release on Saturday was nicely featured with all the details of the event and displayed many correlated books. The librarians were very helpful and parents circulated through the areas with their kids. There did seem to be lots of locals socializing with each other but also some obvious tourists enjoying the facility. The building still has lots of historic charm but there are updates to some areas as well as the exterior. There appeared to be an addition since we were last here and we heard maybe yet another in the near future. Parking was a real problem this week but I would guess they can handle the off season/school year just fine.

    A library on the…read more cape Marstons Mills is a itty, bitty village in the city of Barnstable on Cape Cod. Definitely a cool, little place but not really a whole lot there. However they do have one very impressive and extremely friendly library. The original library in Marstons Mills was founded back in 1891 when a bookcase was put in a local post office and loaded up with books. You could only take out one book at a time simply because they didn't have a lot of books and they didn't one person to have them all. A demand for books was so great that it became obvious that a more permanent library was needed so the present building was constructed in 1894. Still didn't have a whole lots of books but over the years and decades the tiny edifice was expanded with more rooms until now the library has 21,000 volumes, audios, computers and all the modern amenities of a much larger library. However the building still holds on to it's historical roots with a cool fireplace and rambling and non symmetrical walls. From the outside you can see how the building just sort of flows from one section to another with a pragmatic sense of aesthetics. As with most small, local libraries the building also serves as a place for events, displays, poetry readings and information about town events. Local folks and visitors can come here to find out what's going on. And like many small, local libraries this library has an absolutely wonderful librarian. Helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming, the one I met was the quintessential small town librarian. She probably knew everything there was to know about the village and the Cape and was worth a visit to Marston Mills just to talk to. The library itself probably gets four stars but with the great librarian definitely gets five.

    Two different…read more worlds The Hyannis Library is one of the oddest libraries I have ever been in. It started out like most libraries in New England as a tiny place that just kept growing. The original part was a cool 18th century cottage that became the library in 1908. Over the decades new additions and wings were built until the largest and most modern part was added in 1974. All these different rooms and parts gives the library a pleasantly strange character to it. The old parts are absolutely wonderful, with fireplaces and great charm. However as you cross into the newest section things change. No more charm, just a very practical, efficient and modern area. One of the most surprising things that I noticed is the security guard. I don't believe I have ever seen one except in the large libraries in the major cities. He was certainly pleasant and polite enough but his presence gave a whole different feel to the library. Not the mellow and friendly ambiance of the typical Cape Cod library but a no nonsense and pragmatic atmosphere. I was surprised to learn that this library has had some problems in the past that necessitate the presence of the guard. Various assaults and disturbances caused by individuals that used the library as a place to hang out and not for study. In fact I had a rather odoriferous individual ask me for money while I was in the library. That doesn't happen except in much larger libraries in the cities. The librarians were busy and didn't have time to chat and the security guard started looking at me funny so I didn't spend much time in here. This is the type of library to do what you have to do and then leave. The old sections are lovely but as you cross over into the newer parts you are reminded that things aren't always as quaint and tranquil as they seem.
